We don't get a lot of shark teeth in Corolla NC.  So far we have a juvenile great white, sand tigers, lemon and bull.  Can you help me identify the one I found this weekend?  Is it a bull shark?  Also, what causes the beautiful rust colored tip?  Thanks, everyone!

It’s definitely a member of the Carcharhinus genus - which includes bull sharks. Colors in the Fossil depends on how it was fossilized, sun exposure, mineral exposure, etc.

Fossils? I dig it. :meg:
